2013 Brunello Di Montalcino Has Arrived

January 31, 2018

2013 Brunello di Montalcino wines

It is 2013 Brunello Di Montalcino time.

The 2013 vintage has been released in January 2018.The 2013 vintage is considered to be a “classic” vintage. With a more typical weather pattern during 2013, it brought back the wine making of the years where harvest was at the beginning of October.The vintage years of 2011 and 2012 were warmer years and harvest was in early September.

These 2013’s are wines with freshness along with bright acidity.

All made from 100% Sangiovese.

Stunning wines.

2004 Riserva Montestefano Barbaresco

November 12, 2017

Tasted bottle #8737 of 11,853 bottles produced.2004-Montestefano-Barbaresco-Riserva My Favorite Wine

For this 2004 vintage, the wine had a ruby color with brickish tones.There are aromas of intense violets, cherries and ripe black raspberries.

On the palate there are refined tannins giving this great structure. The wine shows elegance in the ripe fruits. The finish is filled with ripe fruits and melting tannins. Such a great wine with Italian food and drinking so nicely now and should over the next 5 to 10 years.
